Individual Consultation

One-on-one consultation to discuss the needs of children with hearing loss

This service provides the fresh perspective of a seasoned professional based on the information you provide. You will receive information and advice regarding your issue. You may receive some suggestions on how to work with an individual child, but this service is not “tele-therapy”. It is also not professional legal advice. Consultation is available to family members and professionals. A computer is required for one-on-one consultation via Skype (a program that is free to you).

Testimonial: “For our family transitioning our 4 yr old daughter into the mainstream was incredibly overwhelming. We were looking for someone who had expertise in the field and would be able to provide impartial feedback & recommendations. The consultant helped highlight some of the key issues, answered specific concerns & forecasted what may be expected over the next year. She was able to coach our family thru the process of having meaningful & educated discussions with our district in order to create a service plan that worked for both parties. We plan on continuing to consult with her on an as needed basis in order to provide our daughter with an appropriate plan of intervention.”
